I have found that a lot of people are disappointed that telepathy-idle is not installed by default when they try to move their IRC account from pidgin to empathy. I was thinking, something that may (or may not) work for saving space on the LiveCD and stop users from complaining that their spec isn't available by default would be to have empathy install the connection managers (idle, butterfly, haze, etc...) upon request when the user tries to create these accounts. I assume the user will have to have an internet connection when wanting to use empathy, so its just the means of installing the small packages to get the connection managers working.
Workflow would be:
-hi thank you for installing empathy, would you like to import accounts from pidgin?
-because you are trying to install (AIM,IRC,MSN) we need to install the connection managers, please click next to continue with this operation
-Importing accounts, please wait...
It may also work to remove the connection managers if nobody is using an account with them anymore.
